I have it working better than before but had to max things right out to get a working clean sound; minimum gain, max master and channel volume. It sounds OK but you lose headroom on your other channels, if they're too loud then the clean sound is inaudible by comparison. On the whole I'm very, very happy with the PodExpress especially for the very small amount of money, but Line6, if you're listening, maybe a little more headroom on the only clean amp?

Tried all three, it's most noticeable with the headphones (KRK over-ear.) I can minimize the effect by dimeing the channel volume and master and turning the gain nearly off but it's still there, it sounds for all the world as though I have one amp set to clean and another, much quieter, with fuzz on it playing in the background. I left the entire first bank untouched so all the original sounds are there, it's really not subtle. No clean sounds are really clean, except the "no amp" option which doesn't seem to be affected. Also I'm not cranking the outboards volume knob, definitely not overdriving the headphones themselves.

The new control interface is fantastic, found myself messing around and I'm really happy with the dirty sounds but I can't get a truly clean sound from any of the amps. Updated firmware yesterday, it seems like every clean sound has some digital distortion in the background: it's as if I have a clean sound from one source and a very quiet sound with fuzz on it just barely audible. It only goes away if I turn the amps to "off" which sounds not bad actually but lacks flexibility. For what it's worth my unit is one of the very first, one of the big-box stores let me have the very first one; they hadn't even tried it yet so it's possible this is a bug that got fixed later. Or of course could be user-error on my part, anyway otherwise I'm super-happy with the unit. Thanks for reading!

Yes! Factory reset brought back all the presets and none of them make that sound. This thing is unreal, love it.

OK the clean amp is clipping and the gain/boost is off, I'll look into that; thanks.

Thanks, it seems to happen on all presets but I notice the presets were all empty 'till I started programming sounds. This was the advance model, it was packaged as new but I wonder if anyone messed around with it before I bought it . . . maybe I should do a factory reset and see if there's a firmware update?

So I'm loving the Pod Express but it makes a chirping sound that reminds me of the noise you sometimes hear from the strings behind the nut. It's not that or the tremolo springs, makes no difference what guitar I use. Even if you just brush muted strings, you get the same chirp. Anyone else have this same issue?
